Yup. In the back of our CYV we use white vinegar epsom salt dish detergent mix but I don’t know if it really kills the weed. Slowly pulling out of the ground works for me. Surprising how extensive the root can be. OP’s picture looks like pretty mature weed. We live in a CYV with a dog so don’t use poison in the back. In the front we sparingly use Roundup unfortunately (when I’m not just yanking them out of the ground)
